Hello Vicky and all. The mailinfo.txt file is a control index file which keeps a list of all your emails. If your mailbox is empty, the mailinfo.txt file may not exist or may be empty. From time to time this file gets corrupted and/or out of sync to what is really there. If corruption happens, it can cause the crashes of the email program. To fix the email crashing, do the following.
1. Close all programs. 2. Open the file manager and press enter on flashdisk. 3. Navigate to the email folder and press enter on it. 4. Press enter on each mailbox which is causing the crash and navigate to the mailinfo.txt file and delete it. 5. Close the file manager and start your email program. When the email program launches and sees that a mailbox has messages, but no mailinfo.txt file, it will recreate it and it will match what you have. Now things should work correctly. I've been thinking of the many messages on the email troubles some of you are having. My thinking is that if the above steps have been followed and the problems are still happening, perhaps it may be time to check the flashdisk for errors. To do this, connect the Sense notetaker to a PC and open the properties of the flashdisk drive. Go to tools and then to check disk. After checking the disk, if problems are found and corrected, give it a try and see if the lock up problems go away. If not, I'm afraid it may be reformat time. Note that doing a reformat will completely wipe out the flashdisk. So only do this after backing up your existing data. If you read kb1090 at www.gwmicro.com/kb1090 you can find out how to make a backup of all your flashdisk content. Once you have done this, assuming you are using 5.5 firmware, choose the format item under utilities and choose the flashdisk. Follow the prompts to reformat the drive and once it is finished, feel free to copy in your backup files. Now give the email program a try and things should work the right way. Many thanks.
